  The ruling is a great relief to employers, who feared the cost of accommodating minor impairments or vague complaints, said Christopher Collins, a lawyer with the New York firm Proskauer Rose, who has represented businesses in disability cases.
  
  "Employers have always been skeptical of disabilities that arise or become apparent when someone clocks in and end when they clock out," Collins said.

  Christopher Collins, a senior counsel at Manhattan's Proskauer Rose who represents employers, dismisses this catch-22 critique."To be covered under the ADA, you have to be both qualified and disabled at the same time, but that's what Congress had in mind when it passed the statute," he says.
  
  Whatever Congress meant, the court's recent pronouncements on what the ADA means by "disability" are prompting counsel on both sides of cases to do more homework on claimants' physical or mental impairments.
  
  ...
  After Toyota, Collins says, many ADA employment cases will hinge on whether plaintiffs' impairments substantially restrict their daily lives, not just their activities on the job.Thus, individuals with ailments caused and exacerbated by work activities-carpal tunnel syndrome, stress-related disorders, back problems and the like-must be prepared to prove that these conditions adversely affect their lives after quitting time.
  
  SENIORITY RULES
  
  If an employee or job applicant is found to be disabled within the definition of the ADA, the employer must provide a "reasonable accommodation" to the individual's disability-unless the employer shows that an accommodation would cause it undue hardship.
  
  ...
  "It's pretty clear that seniority systems embodied in collective bargaining agreements are protected from challenge," Collins says.

  The high court's decision doesn't change the playing field , insists Christopher J. Collins , senior counsel at New York's Proskauer Rose , which filed an amicus brief supporting DuPont on behalf of the Society for Human Resource Management.Front pay in virtually all of the circuits had been available and not subject to caps , he says , adding , It only might bring to the forefront the availability of this type of remedy..
  
  That is bad enough , Collins says , because front pay is very unpredictable.Courts can award no front pay or front pay that can be a decade long. For the justices , the case raised questions of language and intent.
  
  The 1991 act gave Title VII plaintiffs for the first time a right to a jury trial and to compensatory and punitive damages.Previously , they could win only equitable relief , such as backpay , injunctions and reinstatement.
  
  But Congress also imposed limits on damages.
